Chapter 745: One Hundred Points? Brutal Yes!

The Cavaliers' performance in the first half of the first quarter was very normal and very good.

Mike Brown is satisfied with the team's performance.

O'Neal completely suppressed Milicic on the offensive end. Milicic was unable to defend the current O'Neal one-on-one.

And what about David Lee?

David Lee also had the upper hand in the battle with Millsap. Because Millsap needed to help Milicic defend O'Neal, he always left a gap for David Lee when defending him. This directly resulted in leaving a lot of opportunities for David Lee to find opportunities.

David Lee is very, very comprehensive on the offensive end. It can be said that he is one of the most capable insiders in the league. He often scores 20+10 silently. It can be said that beside O'Neal, David Lee The ability to exploit every opportunity has been greatly enhanced.

Millsap's performance in the first quarter was actually excellent. He had to defend David Lee and help defend O'Neal, and he also had to fill in Ibaka's trap and help defend Richard Jefferson. It can be said that Millsap was There are so many things that need to be done in the game, and in such a busy situation, he basically handled everything on the defensive end quite clearly.

It's just obvious that Millsap, who has to be divided into three parts in this game, is quite miserable in terms of statistics.

At the very least, in terms of statistics, David Lee completely beat Millsap.

Of course, although the data is deceptive, it is also true that Millsap was unable to defend David Lee next to O'Neal because he was too distracted.

The two inside partners of O'Neal and David Lee still performed well and still suppressed their opponents in terms of statistics.

And Richard Jefferson bullied Ibaka so much that he couldn't take care of himself.

As for Daniel Gibson, Daniel Gibson was not as efficient as usual when facing Rondo's defense. Rondo's off-ball defense is indeed excellent, which was tested by Ray Allen in the finals.

But Daniel Gibson and Ray Allen are not exactly the same style of players. It should be said that Gibson and the Celtics' Ray Allen are not the same style. In the Celtics, Ray Allen is more of a catch-and-shooter. Gibson, on the other hand, has great rights to hold the ball in the Cavaliers.

Although being defended by Rondo without the ball was a bit miserable, and being pinched by Rondo with the ball was also miserable, his rights in the Cavaliers gave him a lot of authority to make strong shots, and the efficiency of these strong shots in the game was pretty good. , of course, strong shooting is originally Gibson's advantage.

Therefore, in total, Gibson and Rondo are evenly matched in this game. Gibson's efficiency is not that high, and Rondo's efficiency is not that high.

In the first half of the first quarter, the only point where the Cavaliers were suppressed was Deron Williams.

After all, the player Deron Williams is playing against is Yes.

But Deron Williams was suppressed, which was something he had figured out before the game.

Moreover, whether Deron Williams is suppressed by Yes is not very important to the Cavaliers. As long as Deron Williams' passing and organizational skills can be brought into play, the Cavaliers will have no problems at all.

It can be said that the Cavaliers' game in the first half of the first quarter was completely in line with his pre-game predictions.

In his prediction before this game, the Cavaliers would suppress the Sonics while O'Neal was still on the court, and the Cavaliers did that.

In his prediction for this game, when O'Neal is still on the court, other players of the Cavaliers will be attached to O'Neal. Except for Deron, everyone else will perform very well. The Cavaliers have also done this. .

In his prediction, after the first quarter of this game, the Cavaliers, with O'Neal staying on the court,

It will lead the SuperSonics by at least six points!

This was not done!

Among his three predictions for this game before the game, the first two predictions are the most important. As long as the first two predictions are completed, the third prediction will come naturally.

But what surprised Mike Brown was that the Cavaliers did everything he asked, but in the end they only led by 2 points!

After the Sonics were defeated by his "anti-fast break tactics", even if they fell into a positional battle with them, when the Cavaliers scored 20 points in the half quarter, they could also score 18 points in the half quarter!

18 points in half quarter!

This is really incredible for the Cavaliers this season.

The Cavaliers have lost a total of 3 games this season.

Two of the three games were due to O'Neal's truce due to back-to-back reasons, and the other game was due to the team's overall poor feel.

It can be said that the team has not lost this season when it is in normal condition and O'Neal is playing!

Most teams, whether they are Eastern or Western teams, as long as O'Neal stays on the court, many teams will lose at least 10 points in the first half of the quarter!

Now the world is praising the Cavaliers' offensive prowess.

If they just have strong offensive strength, the Cavaliers will never be able to lead the Eastern and Western teams by more than 10 points in half a quarter.

Not only their offense, but their defense this season, the Cavaliers are equally outstanding!

O'Neal dominates everything inside like a door panel and a stone pillar, while the three Cavaliers players outside move extremely fast. Their one-on-one defense may not be that good except for Richard Jefferson, but their running , absolutely outstanding!

This leads to the opponents of the Cavaliers either defeating the Cavaliers' defensive players one-on-one and shooting outside under the interference of the Cavaliers' outside players, or completely defeating the Cavaliers' outside defensive players and going directly to the basket to challenge O'Neal!

Whether it is attacking directly outside under interference or going to the basket to challenge O'Neal, it will not be so efficient.

But...

Mike Brown was a little shocked when he looked at the technical statistics in his hand.

At this time, the Cavaliers players next to him were as shocked as him.

"Shaq's defense in the Cavaliers system is underestimated, and the Cavaliers' defense is also underestimated!"

Looking at the picture of the Cavaliers' bench on TV, Phil Jackson said in surprise in the locker room of the Los Angeles Lakers.

"Because of Shaq's dominance in the basket in terms of size and defensive range, the Cavaliers' outside defensive players can defend in a very special way. They don't need to defend the opponent tightly. They allow the opponent to have a certain amount of shooting space, and they also allow the opponent to break through them. All they need is to maintain their interference ability on the defensive end. This is a very special way of defense."

Phil Jackson was quite impressed.

Although he was unhappy that the fat guy had such a great influence on the Cavaliers, Kobe had to admit that the fat guy's influence was indeed great.

With such an inside player, teammates on the outside would have an easy time on defense.

You don't need to defend your opponent on defense, you just need to interfere with your opponent when he attacks from the outside. If you don't need to defend your opponent, if you can't even interfere with your opponent, what kind of NBA player are you?

It can be said that many teams suffered a great loss when facing the Cavaliers' tactical system.

Even the Supersonics are at a disadvantage after playing half a quarter.

Other Supersonics players, whether Millsap, Milicic, Rondo or Ibaka, are very bad against the Cavaliers' defensive system.

Milicic and Millsap dare not go directly to the basket to find O'Neal, and they can't make their opponents defend them and lose their positions. In the end, they can only choose to force the attack when the opponent is not out of position and can interfere with them, and the efficiency is very average.

Millsap and Milicic are both average in efficiency, not to mention Rondo and Ibaka.

"It can be said that the Seattle Supersonics can only be two points behind, all because of Yes!"

"Yes's efficiency in the first quarter was extremely high!"

Looking at the data of Yes in the first half of the first quarter on TV, Kobe was really a little surprised.

The Cavaliers' defense system is somewhat similar to the Magic's defense system.

It's just that the Cavaliers' outside players don't go out, they need to use their running to cover those areas that O'Neal can't help defend like Howard.

Howard is invincible under the basket, and O'Neal is also invincible under the basket.

When playing against the Magic, Kobe was very impressed. Yes kept using his explosive power to break through Howard, and the scene of Howard almost crying was really quite shocking.

Knowing that Howard was invincible under the basket, he went to the basket to challenge Howard and avenge Ibaka!

And what about this game?

Knowing that O'Neal's body, pillar-like coverage area, and superb NBA defensive experience in small-range movement under the basket are invincible, Yes just wants to challenge O'Neal!

And the hit rate of the challenge is quite high!

Even higher than O'Neal's match against Milicic!

You know, Kobe can clearly feel that this fat guy is absolutely full of strength in this game, and there is absolutely no intentional pitting of James like in the Olympics!

In the US team, this shameless fat guy has a reason to pit him and James. This fat guy is shameless, but he and James have to have face!

Being abused by 58 points doesn't matter to this fat guy, but it must be uncomfortable for him and James.

And now in the Cavaliers, this is this fat guy's team alone!

This fat guy has absolutely no reason to cooperate with Yes.

What's more, this fat guy is still the first player in the MVP rankings.

This fat guy doesn't care much about other personal honors, including championships. He swears that this fat guy only needs one more championship than him, not too many, because he used to think this way, not too many, just one more than this fat guy!

But the regular season MVP...

Isn't the reason why this fat guy's historical status has always been mediocre because there are not so many regular season MVPs?

If there is one more regular season MVP, it will really be a qualitative improvement for this fat guy!

Based on his understanding of this fat guy, this fat guy must be very interested in the regular season MVP of this season.

What's more, he is still the second in the official MVP rankings!

Damn, he absolutely doesn't believe that this cunning fat guy would sacrifice so much of himself to deliberately pit his teammates. He has no reason to do so!

In other words, facing the full defense of this fat guy, Yes's forced shots in front of O'Neal every time he faces O'Neal can shoot 90% of the hit rate!

This is really incredible!

O'Neal is different from Howard. Howard is thin, and Yes can use explosive power to pass through Howard directly.

But O'Neal is different. O'Neal can't pass through directly. His body is too wide, so he can only shoot in front of him, which is really not easy!

"Yes's skills and abilities are of course no problem, the key is the touch!"

"Yes's touch in this game is very good!"

Kobe's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

If his previous feeling was not wrong, Yes and he are the same person, then Yes can definitely maintain such a good touch in this game for the whole game!

He scored 14 points in half a quarter. Is it possible to challenge 100 points in the whole game? !

100 points!

Kobe himself wants to get it, but he knows that it is unlikely in the current Lakers, so he really hopes that Yes can get 100 points, so as to give him a willful reason to pursue 100 points. It is better to get this 100 points in front of that fat guy, which will make him even happier!

Now Kobe's thoughts are naturally unknown to others, including O'Neal on the sidelines.

After the official timeout, O'Neal did not play. The Cavaliers are different from other teams in the league. O'Neal is very strong, but he is already 36 years old.

So the Cavaliers' rotation is that O'Neal plays in the first three quarters, and at most only plays a little more than half of each quarter, and there is no limit in the fourth quarter.

So O'Neal is limited to about 30 minutes of playing time per game, plus O'Neal will rest on the court and some back-to-back games, O'Neal's current physical condition is good.

With O'Neal, the Cavaliers are invincible for Mike Brown, but without O'Neal, the Cavaliers are a little worrying.

After the official timeout, the Cavaliers replaced O'Neal and Daniel Gibson with Big Z and Deronti West respectively. Gibson went up and down with O'Neal.

Without O'Neal, the Cavaliers still played the same tactics, but the effect was of course far worse, which is why Mike Brown frowned, and the Cavaliers did not get enough lead in the first half of the quarter.

However, after the game resumed, Mike Brown breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yes was still scoring, he did not attack the inside like before, but attacked from the outside.

The Cavaliers were indeed at a disadvantage, but the result of the game was not unacceptable.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the field was 36 to 34, and the Cavaliers were 2 points behind at home!

Such a lag was immediately eliminated after O'Neal came on the court at the beginning of the second quarter!

But...

"After Yes came on the court, O'Neal still couldn't defend Yes!"

"Yes's touch in this game was too good!"

"At the end of the half, the score of both sides was 66 to 64, and the Cavaliers were two points behind!"

"At the end of the half, Yes's score broke through the 40-point mark in the half again, 42 points in the half!"

Barkley was really incredible, it was just that O'Neal was thick-skinned, otherwise if it was him, he would really go crazy if he was always face-to-face with Yes!

Not to mention Barkley, even Kenny Smith is incredible now!

"This game..."

Yes doesn't want to score 100 points on O'Neal's head? !

Facing the Cavaliers, one of the strongest teams in the league, and scoring 100 points? !

Isn't this too brutal? !

Kenny Smith opened his eyes wide, and James in front of the TV also opened his eyes wide!
